The course consists of a major project aiming to provide a deepened understanding of Materials Science and Process Design together with training in general engineering abilities.
The different projects should deal with problems within Science and Process Design, integrating technical aspects and society’s demands as to laws and regulations, ethics, economy and environment.
The course responsible provides suitable projects and a special supervisor is assigned to each project. It is possible to suggest projects, but a KTH supervisor is always assigned.
The work is done individually or in groups of 2-3 participants.
The project should contain the following parts
- Project planning
- Project meetings, possibly with the supervisor (about 1 h/week)
- A literature survey
- Performing experiments, calculations and similar
- Analysis and conclusions
- Written report
- Oral presentation
